FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Protection?
Helly Tech® Protection is the foundational layer of Helly Hansen's waterproof and breathable technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in everyday weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with its Helly Tech® Protection fabric, fully sealed seams, and DWR treatment, the jacket provides excellent protection against moderate to heavy rain.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. For cold weather, it's best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers like fleece or down.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.
Does the jacket have a removable hood?
No, the hood on the Seven J jacket is fixed and adjustable.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
It's recommended to reapply DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up effectively on the fabric, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Check that the inner lining is not trapping moisture.
Hood adjustment is not effective.
Ensure the drawcords are fully extended and properly threaded through the toggles. Check for any obstructions in the drawcord channels.
